The Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) has scheduled the Company / Board Assistant Main Examination 2026 for December 5, 2026, for candidates who qualified in the Degree Level Preliminary Examination conducted for Category Nos. 382/2025 and 383/2025. With the preliminary examination now completed, the Mains examination will be the next stage in the selection process for eligible candidates. While the prelims served as a screening examination, the Main Examination is an important stage for candidates seeking inclusion in the final ranked list. Aspirants should therefore shift their focus from preliminary-level preparation to the post-specific Main Examination.
The Mains Exam focuses on a more detailed understanding of these subjects, along with questions related to Kerala’s governance, economy, and culture. Candidates should study systematically and practice topic-wise questions for better results.

With the examination scheduled for December 5, 2026, candidates should now follow a structured preparation plan rather than continuing with broad preliminary-level study.
The first step is to understand the complete Main Examination syllabus. Divide the syllabus into individual topics and identify subjects that require more revision or practice.
Give priority to frequently asked areas and topics with greater marks or weightage. Prepare concise notes for important facts, concepts, dates, laws, institutions and other areas relevant to the examination.
Previous Kerala PSC questions can help candidates understand the Commission's question style and identify recurring concepts. Regular practice also helps improve speed and accuracy.
Mock tests should become an important part of Mains preparation. Attempt full-length tests under examination conditions and analyse mistakes after every test. This helps candidates identify weak areas and improve time management.
Revision is essential because the Mains syllabus can cover a wide range of topics. Candidates should maintain short revision notes and revise important portions multiple times before the examination.
Candidates should continue following relevant current affairs, particularly important developments related to Kerala, India, government schemes, economy, science and technology, and major national and international events, depending on the prescribed syllabus.
Candidates preparing for the Kerala PSC Company / Board Assistant Mains Examination can use the Challenger App for systematic exam preparation. The platform provides syllabus-based learning resources, study plans, notes, topic-wise tests, previous questions, mock examinations and performance analysis to help aspirants organise their preparation.
With the prelims stage already completed, candidates can now use these resources primarily for Mains-oriented revision, topic tests and mock-test practice. Regular practice can help candidates identify their weak areas and improve their performance before the December 5 examination.
